Background: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a single-gene disorder that is the most common heritable cause of intellectual disability and the most frequent monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). FXS is caused by an expansion of trinucleotide repeats in the promoter region of the fragile X mental retardation gene (Fmr1). This leads to a lack of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which regulates translation of a wide range of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The extent of expression level alterations of synaptic proteins affected by FMRP loss and their consequences on synaptic dynamics in FXS has not been fully investigated.

Pre-linguistic autism diagnostic observation schedule adapted for older individuals with severe to profound mental retardation: A pilot study
Kazak Berument, Sibel; Pickles, A; Tomlins, M; Papanikolauou, K; Lord, C; Rutter, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-12-01)
The Autism Diagnostic Observational Schedule (ADOS) is a semi-structured observational scale developed to assess social interaction, communication and play in individuals who are suspected to have autism. Since the ADOS is not suitable to be used with severely or profoundly mentally retarded adolescents and adults with very limited language skills, materials and some of the tasks of the PL-ADOS and the original ADOS (the former versions of the current ADOS) were adapted. Results indicated that almost all of...
Sociodemographic/clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with chronic tic disorders
Tural Hesapçioǧlu, Selma; Tural, Mustafa Kemal; KANDİL, SEMA (Turkish Association of Nervous and Mental Health, 2013-01-01)
Objective: This study aimed to investigate comorbidity, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics in children and adolescents with Tourette's syndrome (TS) and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (CMVTD), and to determine the predictors of tic disorders. Materials and Methods: In all, 57 children and adolescents with TS and CMVTD were compared with a control group. Data were obtained using the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Turgay DSM-IV-Based Disruptive Behavioral Disorders Screening and ...
CONVERSATIONAL REPAIR STRATEGIES IN ADULTS WITH HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A CONTENT ANALYSIS
Odabaş Öğe, Melis; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2023-1-26)
Due to its complexity, Autism Spectrum Disorder provides a wide range of opportunities for academic research, particularly in the area of social cognition. The purpose of this study is to compare the repair strategies used by adults with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HFASD) and healthy individuals with similar age-educational status to deal with communication breakdown situations. For this purpose, a discourse corpus was compiled by analyzing video recordings of individuals with HFASD and those...
A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH FOR DETECTING HIGH-FUNCTIONING AUTISM USING WEB-BASED EYE-TRACKING DATA
Khalaji, Erfan; Yesilada Yilmaz, Yeliz; Eraslan, Sukru; Computer Engineering (2021-7-14)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that causes social, communication and behavioral challenges with different severity levels. Studies report a considerable increase in ASD prevalence during the past two decades, and clinical psychologists face difficulties identifying individuals with ASD. Researchers have been using different techniques such as eye-tracking to help address ASD diagnosis. A previous study shows that training a logistic regression model with eye-tr...
Investigating the design, development, and evaluation of a high-tech alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) application for communication needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorders
Polat, Hamza; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a type of neurodevelopmental disorder that has two core symptoms; (i) absence of social communication and interaction, and (ii) presence of atypical behaviors. To deal with these symptoms, different treatment approaches such as Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) are used for teaching communication skills to individuals with ASD. With the advancements in mobile technologies, practitioners in special education started to use high-tech aided AAC systems for commu...
